Re: >150mW mini red lasers for $63 What kind of a resistor ohm rating do you want to put into the circuit to bring down the mW to a suitable level? Looking at the housing, they look really small. Im surprised you managed to work with that amount of room, nice

Woo, my payment cleared a couple of days ago!!

I got one of these units. Its great. I want to know if anyone here has measured the output voltage and the current of the circuit when the pot is at its highest. If so then do you think it will be possible to attach a more powerful laser to the circuit? Also seeing as it has a green output, what...

Re: lm317 ill go halves with you but im in AU.

Will 350mA's be under powering the diode? 417 sounds scaringly high(from my experience) I'm going to buy all that gear as soon as i get money in my paypal.

Oh ok. Thats interesting to know. What about them batteries everyone buys from DX? The CR123A rechargeables i think which are 3.0 or 3.6v. Would they be good enough? And also i just got a new open can diode from a DVR11D, whats a safe amount of current i can be putting into this diode without...

Hey all I just ripped apart a Pioneer DVR11D 20x burner. Inside the unit i found 2 diodes, one like our standard red looking diode except it has no glass in the little circle and another diode which looks like half of a regular diode. First off, i powered up the standard one and it was red so...

Ill get a couple of pictures of the test circuit and the two points in which i am probing and a picture of the readings on the multimeter very very soon.

Ok. The +ve leg on my dead diode snapped off. I dont have any 1N4001's but i did have 1N4004. I got a 1ohm resistor. I wired it up in the diagram which someone else posted somewhere about how to test the DDL driver. At 3.08volts, i was reading 89mA at lowest resistance and 13.9 with max pot...

OK bluefusion i put it on that setting and the reading i got exceeded the limit so i had to bump it up to 2000m. I turned the pot to the highest resistance. I used a 10Ohm pot as the load and the output reading was 334 and on the lowest resistance on the same load i was reading in 1881. What are...

I just looked closer at the drive i ripped the diode from and it was a 12x burner...The diode was working fine when i fitted it into the unit. When i turned up the pot 3/4th of the way it died. I am now assuming that my driver is fine and that the problem was with the 12x diode which cant take...

The problem i have with the "C"(aka "G") clamp is that when tightening the unit to secure the diode in the module, it can twist the module on one end and as a result it can damage the pins on the diode. It would be safer to use a vice(if possible) because a G clamp works buy turning like a screw...

I built an exact circuit as the image above. LM317T, 2 resistors in parallel after a 100ohm pot followed by the 1n4001, 32v 47uF cap and the diode extracted from a 16x LG burner. Im not sure if my multimeter measures current but i put it on the ~V setting and i got a reading of 2.8(which i...

Ive got the two resistors in the circuit(2x10Ohm) Im putting 6v into it, 4xaaa duracells. What kind of mA should be the output when this circuit(in the above image) is hooked up to a 16x burner diode? Whats a good dummy load for me to accuratley test the mA output without risking another diode?

Ok i extracted another diode from a scrapped DVD burner. It worked fine til i turned up the pot(i think too much) and now i got a LED. So i ask, how can the DDL driver be modified so that there is a threshold in power output and if i was to turn the pot to max it will not cause the diode to...

So you skipped the potentiometer?

How much are the red 200mW?

Re: GB - $4 FusionDrives - PAYMENT PAGE UP Sent eCheque payment for 5 units + AUD :D

No, the next GB is in a week or two. Unless your talking about a previous GB
